Hi - one of my connectors is damaged.

Did some searching and understand the principle.

Is there a tool to get the connector off?

So you want to get the terminals out of the plastic part?, you'll need a super skinny picklike tool to cram down beside the terminal and depress the tab that's sticking out it's side holding it into the plastic. (bend the tab back out for reinsertion and don't mix up the wires).

a small cotter pin may serve as a small pick to depress the terminal lock.
